Radio Shack Wireless BBQ Thermometer?

[Guest]

Anyone familiar with this thermometer? I'm wondering if it's the same as some other brand, just being sold with the Radio Shack label. I haven't found any wireless thermometers locally, but I didn't think to look at Radio Shack and may give it a try if it's in stock and any good.

I'm also looking for some feedback on this product. Looking at the online owner's manual it appears to have some good features: probe good up to 482 F and a one year warranty. Unfortunately, I don't know how it stacks up to any other models. I'm also curious about the length of the probe- 3.28 feet. Is this long enough? Hope someone has some answers soon- my smokers on its way.

You have or are planing to acquire a WSM.

Why not buy a wireless digital smoker probe that tracks the food temperature and the smoker temperature also for the same price?
